GitHub user related tools — user • ghclass

user_exists() - returns TRUE if the username(s) (or organization) exist on GitHub and FALSE otherwise. Note that GitHub considers organizations to be a type of user.
user_repos() - returns a (filtered) vector of repositories belonging to the user.
user_type() - returns a vector of the accounts' types.

Usage

user_exists(user)

user_repos(
  user,
  type = c("owner", "all", "public", "private", "member"),
  filter = NULL,
  exclude = FALSE,
  full_repo = TRUE
)

user_type(user)

Arguments

user: Character. GitHub username(s).
type: Character. Can be one of "all", "owner", "public", "private", "member".
filter: Character. Regular expression pattern for matching (or excluding) repositories.
exclude: Logical. Should entries matching the regular expression in filter be excluded or included?
full_repo: Logical. Should the full repository address be returned (e.g. owner/repo instead of just repo)?

Value

user_exists() returns a logical vector.

user_repos() and user_type() retrun a character vector.
